Grand (specifically Daylight) is the album I think of when I think of . My girlfriend and I NEED to know! matt, when your watching kim's ass on. Matt Johnson and Kim Schifino began dating in while attending the spawned a hit single, "Daylight," and a video for the song "Lessons Learned" that . Real Couple: Matt & Kim: Movin' and Groovin' - THE COUPLE BEHIND THE EPONYMOUS INDIE Try typing in "Lessons Learned. They started dating.

When I did a year at penn state I met a lot of local punks and started listening to pop punk. The first tape I ever owned was Fine Young Cannibals and that was right on, then the first CD I ever owned was Cypress Hill and that was right on, I got it from my parents in 5th grade. But I guess I started getting into music with Nirvana and Metallica, but then when I started getting into punk stuff like the first time I heard The Casualties that was what it was about and when I decided I had to start playing music and living it and all that, soon came the butt flap.

Walk us down memory lane. Actually you are going to find this funny. Well before that Matt and I had been talking but that is the night the magic happened. I feel like the Amanda Noa really brought it to a new extreme with almost everyone in the band walked out during the set except for J and some dudes who decided to step in.

Matt and I took off to get some food and do a bit of smooching. How did Kim and Matt become Matt and Kim? We were working on films and art projects together. We work really well together. Matt was writing some solo stuff at that time. My friend Ian gave me his old drum set so we set them up in our bed room and that is when it started. A few months later Ian forced us to play our first show.

I know some people, when they get down, they throw on your CD and it just gets them all charged up, happy as sin. Do either of you have any rituals to raise your spirits? Wow that is awesome. I mean nothing is funnier than a dude getting hit in the junk. That shit cracks me up! We try to be who we are when we play live, honest you know?

And for the most part we are totally siked and it shows, but if we were totally bummed that would show too. And we just like to write and hear and live to some songs you can party and have fun with. You feel like telling people why?

Got any advice for sullen teenagers?

I blame it on all the tea I drink We are happy people in general but it is so much fun to play music and that is why we are grinning so much on stage. Also matt makes an ass of himself which makes me laugh a lot. Totally beat you to that question. Did you two collaborate at all with the directors? Was there a concrete vision for either of the songs, that you wanted maintained?

Or did you just trust in who you brought on to direct? Them the same thing happens vice versa, and then the crowd gets really into it and starts cutting each other up, and then everyone dies.

We didn't expect to ever make a living off playing music. We always took it one step at a time. Here's something your parents don't tell you: That was really helpful to the band. Then you're just enjoying things in the moment that you're doing them. It's not about trying to do things in steps to get other places. I remember discussing that I never want to play a show that I wouldn't go to.

I think there are a lot of times where you're encouraged to play a show because it's the proper stepping-stone to get you somewhere else. Having come from only really playing in warehouses and stuff in Brooklyn, we made them make the ticket price six dollars, because that's what our fans wanted to pay.

It was the lowest ticket price they've ever done at Bowery Ballroom.

What do you attribute your longevity to? I find that sometimes bands decide what it would take for them to be successful. Say, like, "We gotta win a Grammy. That's when we're successful. It's like how rarely does that happen for a band?

So, you're spending your entire career failing, if that's your beacon of success. But, if you're like me and Kim, you're just happy every time you come back to town and there are a few more people there. Or you're happy every time you put out a song and people seem excited about it.

Then you're just constantly a success. Every day you get to celebrate. What was the first one you ever had? Coming from a punk background and, especially, growing up and listening to punk music, it was such a concern. It happened and it was fine. But we were nervous about it. Then, the next one that came was a Bacardi commercial with " Daylight.

I'm sure it could be looked up online. I think that's another grown-up step. Is there anything you've seen that you can't wait to get? There are a lot of great stores around [Williamsburg]. But I also know that in Vermont, the used furniture market is a lot less expensive. We want to take a road trip with a box truck and see what we can find. We want a giant kitchen table, one of those really big tables with a thick wooden top.

Yeah, my brother and I did our homework at our kitchen table every day. We didn't go to our rooms. So the table's one thing. And we need a bed frame.

We definitely need a really good couch. I want either two couches or a sectional because we're always competing and trying to fit when we lie down.

And I always get the bad end of the deal. He just takes up the most amount of space. It's a very "old country" feel. The first time I went to Matt's parents' house, I loved it. It's a Vermont-style house that just has this nice homey feel with, like, clapboards on the bottom and… What do you call that?

You're not going to be able to explain this! I don't know, we like things that feel…like [exposed] beams and chipped paint… We like the old personality of places rather than super-new, super-clean. It has to have a feeling of history or whatnot…. We're going to coin that. I don't think we can coin that because I think it exists.

We are Matt and Kim of the band Matt and Kim. AMA! : IAmA

Do you like to decorate with personal stuff or buy made art for the walls? We're definitely buying a lot more art now. In art school, we'd trade pieces, so we started building our collection that way.

Now we're buying stuff. I'm really into buying stuff at galleries. He doesn't like to go to museums because he can't buy the stuff. Like, they show it to you but you can't buy it? What are you most looking forward to about the new place? Well, it's just so gross in the building we live in now. Tell her what I saw in the hallway M: Kim looked through the peephole one time and thought she saw someone pissing in the hallway.

But no, it wasn't that. It was two people having sex right outside of our [apartment] door. We were just about to leave and head out on tour and There's this drug dealer who goes up to our roof. And I like to play detective and write down every time I see him going up to the roof.

I don't know what I'm going to do with this information, but I like to keep it just in case…. And so all of a sudden, I heard someone in the stairwell and I was like, "He's there again! And I was like, "Ohhhhh, they're having sex in the hallway!

As many things as you can catch from sex—especially from someone you might have sex with in a hallway—you can catch way worse things just from that hallway. I just saw his ass.

It's a sight I cannot get out of my mind. A sight you can't unsee.

That is pretty gross…. You must be looking forward to having friends and family over to your nice, new place. Our families are very excited about this. Right now, we can't have anyone over because you can't move in the [small space]. So…parties at our new house!

We go out every night on the road, so when we come home that's not what we want to do. The idea of being able to have people over and just hang out is really nice. Do you get to see your families a lot since they're up in New England? We're super-close to our families. If we play in Boston, there are 20 of my family members on the guest list. They come out in full force. And Matt's family too. He has a smaller family than me—not the big Italian family I have—but his parents always come out to our shows.

And his brother lives here [in New York], so we hang out with him. Do your parents dig your music? They're all so supportive. My dad really loves our music. So what do you guys do when you are at home? What's a normal night in like for you?

There are a lot of television series that we're addicted to. It's nice to take a second to lie on the couch and not worry about things. We've been watching Friday Night Lights. I'm on the edge of my seat after the last episode. I think we're almost at the one where they play the Panthers. We just watched the one where Riggins got kicked out the trailer because the mother thought he was with the daughter.
